Relaxing Activities. After a few days of adventuring, we’ll mix in Pucón’s more comforting activities. Tea and pastries at Chile’s most famous hot springs, Termas Geometricas. How about an authentic asado with a sommelier presenting Chilean wines, appetizers, and provisions at our private access overlooking Lago Caburgua. Morning yoga to breathe and stretch out those muscles is almost as therapeutic as the massage therapist.

Funky Sustainable Architect Designs. The retreat property is architect-designed to exclusively bring global personalities together around glowing fires, music, and riverside hangout areas. Most notable is the center-piece open-air quincho with wood burning oven attracting laughter and stories. Recycled containers, open-air tree deck showers, geodesic domes, and an eco-forestry sustainability plan preserves the indigenous native riverside environment. The retreat is all things contrast of hotel and internet-checking out.

Location. Location. Location. It’s no surprise that adventure companies are making offers to purchase Pucón’s best riverside property. If Pucón is Chile’s adventure epicenter, consider your Trancura riverside retreat as the lifeblood center of Pucón adventures. Adventures are in every direction, beginning with a minute’s walk to whitewater and fly fishing. We’re conveniently just outside of Pucon riverside amongst the areas best adventures.

Riverside Pucon Living. The river suites provide en suite bathrooms with a river view from your bed. French doors open to a private deck over-looking the Trancura rapids. Nightly fires are mandatory attracting story swapping reliving the day’s fears and blunders, and of course climaxes and successes. It is this spirit of bonding that keeps traveler’s loyal to the retreat atmosphere.

Chile’s Adventure Capital, Pucón

For millions of years, glacial compaction and volcanic activity carved and milled Chile’s Lakes and Rivers District. Three volcanos tower above the surrounding Andean snow-covered peaks storing water energy. Within a short distance, the Andes flow enters and exits several lakes and lagunas, becoming warmer and warmer as they approach the Pacific. The views are remarkable by any scale, and the clear Chilean waters are surprisingly warm. It is this series of peaks and canyons, creeks to lagunas, and rivers to lakes that we promise to show you the best of Chile’s fire ring.

Tentative Itinerary.  Subject to change slightly.

Day 1 (SAT).
Arrival to Temuco Airport (ZCO) between 11 AM – 5 PM and transfer from airport to retreat.
Multi-Options (TBD). Pending arrivals and times Rio Liucura Inflatable Kayak or SUP board. Or afternoon hike to get active after your flights.
Appetizers, cocktails, and welcome to retreat orientation.

Day 2 (SUN).
Fire Lakes & Ice Brew – Lagos Andinos & Cerveceria (brewery)
Out and back hike (4 to 5 hours)

We drive east into the high Andes where Volcan Lanin meaning “ice capped” straddles the Argentina – Chile border. The stratosphere volcano and glacial compaction formed a string of lagunas along the side of the volcano. Guests hike through the native Araucania or “Monkey Puzzle” tree forest crossing streams, passing lagunas and stopping for photos of the giant ever present Volcan Lanin.  (Rio) Puesco Cerveceria. If you are a beer lover then you are going to love tasting what we boast are Chile’s best brews. Right on Rio Puesco enjoy a variety of ales as we celebrate a breath taking day of views.

Day 3 (MON).
Rafting Rio Trancura (10 KM), Zip Lines & Hot Tub

Morning activity we will raft our backyard Rio Trancura.  Ten kilometers of views of volcanos, guide jokes and area history, and of course some exciting whitewater action too. The takeout is in an indigenous Mapuche village with views of two volcanos.

After a lunch break back at the retreat get ready for more fun and adventure zip lining. Multiple zip lines (dependent on weather) through a native forest cap the day of adventures. We cap off the day with appetizers and cocktails at our riverside hot tub before dinner.

Day 4 (TUE)
Raft Rio San Pedro (Class II to IV))

Full Day event.
We drive 180 degrees south of Volcan Villarrica to the Volcan Rinimapu and Rio San Pedro drainage. Lago Rinimapu is one of the seven grand lakes of the Lakes District and overflows like a tub into the Rio San Pedro. Clear turquoise water builds in gradient to giant hay stack waves and rapids for a full day of rafting exhilaration.

Celebrate your day’s adventures back at our quincho with appetizers, cocktails and dinner by the warm fire.

Day 5 (WED).
Via Ferrata Climb on side of Volcano Villarrica (Valle Cerduo) Plus Pucon Culinary Adventure

The via ferrata is a 300 meter rock face bolted with a safety cable. Exposed to the elements like a climber you are harnessed and trained how to clip and unclip to safely climb the wall. The activity is medium to intense physically. And intense for those timid of heights. Reaching the top is a true summit feeling of “fiero.” Or fired up summit. The summit offers vistas of the valley and multiple surrounding volcanos.

Pucon Culinary Adventure. We celebrate with appetizers and cocktails followed by a culinary adventure at a favorite Pucon restaurant. A tour of Pucon caps the day off.

Day 6 (THU).
Cerduo Park Hike (3 hours out and back hike) & Vineyard Tasting Tour

The Cerduo Park AKA Canyon del Turbio is an actual basalt lava flow with views both down the valley and of Volcan Villarrica. We pitch a picnic style cooler and hang out area and guests can sunbathe on the black basalt flow, hike the canyons, or take off up the creek bed hiking up the volcano. If it’s a warm day jumping in the pools is a must.

Vineyard Tasting Tour. We travel a short distance to a vineyard overlooking Lago Villarrica for a lesson in Chilean grapes and wines. And of course we must sample Chile’s proudest fruits.

Day 7 (FRI). Horseback rides, optional hike, afternoon massage therapy
Horseback Ride Along the Rio Liucura. A 2 hour ride along the Rio Liucura with vistas of Volcanos Lanin, Villarrica and Quetrupillan.
